[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tryouts every season? That's kind of crazy, but it makes sense the more I learn about the guy. It's a great way to keep the kids in fear and the parents in ass-kissing mode.[/quote]

Don't forget how he makes you pay a quarterly fee.  If you quit, he has you on hook for another 6 months of extra payments.  One family quit and cancelled the card, and he tried to charge their new card as well.[/quote]

I"m confused about how this is different from the other clubs. I have had to make a year-long commitment, paid in seasonal fees, to both Next Level and another club in the past. How is Madlax different, other than the second tryout in the spring (they don't have one for box)? If you do cut, you are not required to pay remaining fees. Makes more sense to me than paying every up front then having to ask for a refund later. You all act like you know what you're talking about, and you have no idea. If a family quits after making a year-log commitment, then they should be charged the fees. [/quote]

Because it is not the same thing as what you (or anyone else) is doing for your club.  If a club charges $X per year, most clubs will allow you to pay via installments.  Very few ask for everything up front.  And if a kid doesn't play for a particular season, most clubs wouldn't charge you for that season.

Madlax does something different.  Madlax charges its clients a seasonal fee for every season, just like everyone else.  But on top of that, they also charge a quarterly "academy" fee just for the right to be part of Madlax.  This is on top of what you're already paying.  For most families, it is an additional $1000 or so a year and it is automatically charged to your credit card.  If you leave, Madlax goes after you and keeps charging your card for a certain period of time (another 6 months or so).

You end up paying more and if you ever leave, you basically a paying a penalty.  You are the one who has no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]

That is not true. Ever club expects you to pay the full years fees. In Dc area fees are around $3k per year. For Baltimore area it is about $2k per year.

Madlax... Some tournaments are optional, which is not true for any other club we have done.

None of the clubs ask for it "up front", they all change monthly or quarterly or twice a year.
